Fortunella presents as a vibrant and refreshing alcohol-free Straight Sour Beer, defined by a lively interplay of fruit and clean lactic acidity. The sensory experience is led by a bright bouquet of juicy Mandarin and zesty Calamansi, providing a sharp citrus edge that is softened by the delicate sweetness of Raspberry. A lean base of pale malts supports the tartness without adding weight. This summer-focused brew delivers a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel and a puckering finish, making it an incredibly sessionable choice that emphasizes intense fruit character and a clean, refreshing profile driven by high-quality fruit additions.
